I am wanting to automate downloading my server backups. I want to download one file and one folder with three files.

The problem is that the file name changes because it is based on the date and time the file is created. But the beginning of the file name is always the same and easy to discern.

What I cannot figure out is if there is a way to do a wild card character to allow me to download a file with this type of command:

download file "jklineph-backup*"

where the * represents a string of characters and numbers that change. The text before the * would be sufficient to ID the file. THe folder has a similar name and would be easy to differentiate from other folders.

Thanks

I am playing with the Browse command. Is there away to selct a file name (or folder name) from the list returned based on just a couple of words? I won't know which item int he list is the one I want (I will not know it is item 3), but I will know the first word or two.

Suggestions?
